These are very stylish shoes. I have gotten several compliments since I started wearing mine. The material is a little stiff at first and takes some breaking in, but it will happen. Same with the cushioning. It will take a little while to conform to your foot, but it becomes very comfortable. I have higher than average arches, and even though the shoes are naturally fairly flat, the padding has conformed to the shape of my foot. These shoes do run half a size large. They also have a wider toebox than other Onitsuka Tiger shoes. I normally wear a 9½, and that was decidedly too big for me in these shoes. A 9 fits me much better. I do not know why the sizing seems different from other Onitsuka Tigers, but it definitely is. I strongly encourage you to order half a size down on these ones. Anyway, great product. They really do look great.

Great styling and great construction make this an excellent shoe for everyday. The wear on the sole is minimal and the upper leather holds up really well. Plus it has the trademark comfort from all Asics shoes.

This is nice simple sneaker with classic looks. By 'classic looks' I basically mean it looks like the legendary Samba-- but the Asics stripes make all the difference. Not quite as 'robust' as Sambas as it has a cloth tongue, but I love this sneaker.
